One of My greatest delights when I walked on earth was sharing with others. Yes, I taught many in synagogues and on hillsides, but I enjoyed the intimate times I had with the twelve who I chose.
We shared fishing stories together, meals together, camping out together, and walking along the Galilee together. That fellowship was so very rich and the input My disciples shared with Me about their own spiritual lives was uplifting. I could see the battle Peter had with his pride and the continual ambition of the sons of thunder to reach the highest position with Me. I truly was acquainted with the weaknesses of each of the twelve and I also knew that one would betray Me.
The weaknesses of these men did not discourage Me. On the contrary, I could see their potential through the weak areas in their lives. I saw that Peter's pride would be transformed to power when My Spirit came upon Him. I saw that the sons of thunder would be elevated through suffering to positions in Me that they could not envision.
I see your weak areas. The weak areas in your flesh give Me the opportunity to become strong in you by the empowerment of My Holy Spirit. Share your weak areas with Me today, and do not focus on what you cannot do. Instead, focus on what I can do through you. Where you are weak, I am strong. Never try to be someone you are not. I love you just the way you are and I am pleased with the faith that you have in Me to keep changing you from glory to glory.
